7/2: So my 2nd week started today, and I finally decided to get my butt out of bed and go explore Cambridge. I got up at the crack of noon and took a taxi downtown where I went on a guided tour around a couple of colleges as well as the punt tour of the river Cam (that's what Cambridge derives its name from). I also walked around town and visited souvenier shops. The 2 hour walk home was pleasantly tiring.

Edit 7/1: And this is what happens during England national team soccer games in UK (I can't imagine what the finals would be like).

Edit 6/30: Just came back from the pub after watching the UKR-ITA game and hanging with the guys. Very upsetting game, horrible performance by the Ukraine, although I wasn't expecting anything good to come out of it anyway. On a brighter note, the weekend is finally here! Sleep time…..
Edit 6/29: I'm awake at 3am because some idiots outside the hotel are screaming their heads off, and one is running around yelling "Punch me in the face, punch me in the #$#%%#@#@ face!!". I truly, truly wish he gets what he wants.

Enter the new HY Wire. Scroll to 1:10 or so for the cool part. Looks more like a concept car from a futuristic movie, but it actually drives. Only 1 exists in the world, and it costs $5mln. Check it out.

Shevchenko scored on a penalty kick in the 70th minute, and the game ended with a 1-0 victory over Tunisia, making Ukraine the first former-Soviet republic to advance past the tournament's group stage. Great appearance, Ukraine! Keep pushing with the same force and win the FIFA!…

Great news!
Comedy Central has ordered 13 new episodes of the animated series that Fox canceled two years ago. Billy West, Katey Segal and other stars signed deals this week to return the show to TV. In getting a second life, "Futurama" is following the path taken by "Family Guy," which also found post-cancellation success on DVD and cable reruns….

Unbelievable! This exploit is claimed to exist on 250+ sites. Here's the quote from the guy who found it:

"Look by yourself – this is how citibank.com cares about phishing and password theft. I reported it 20 hours ago. Nothing happened. Maybe it's time to make it public? It is an active link to working exploit, ready to send YOUR data from citibank.com domain to attacker's server – so dont give your real login and pass please."

Was driving on 19th Ave today next to Stonestown and saw a homeless (who else has the time to spend like this?) man (or woman? :?) holding up a BUMPER STICKER that read Jail Bush.

That's it, just standing there, alone, in between 2 parked cars, holding up a bumper sticker. These homeless people are getting intelligent. Perhaps he/she should take a step further and start accepting donations for the opposing party……
